Chapter 88 The assassination of Dingguo Gong

Xi Fuwei didn't hesitate for long before deciding to go to the front to have a look.

Now this situation is different from last night, last night it happened suddenly, there were three people in this courtyard, Shen Steallan could handle it, she didn't stand up, she could still say that she knew that her martial arts were low, and she didn't cause trouble to her boss; Now in broad daylight, a group of brocade guards are telling Shen Weilan, if Xi Fuwei continues to hide, the impression on her colleagues can be imagined!

What's more, if the first group of people can't stop it, no matter how well she hides in the back, it's useless.

just cautiously arrived at the front, but saw Shen Weilan in a fox fur standing under the corridor, followed by Yu Kedi, the others were gone, and there seemed to be nothing to be nervous about?

She was about to ask, but noticed that the faces of the two men were very solemn, and they both looked at the courtyard wall in the front yard, holding their breath and concentrating, as if they were listening attentively.

A moment later, someone over there ran over covered in blood, it was Geng Zhi: "My lord, if it is Dingguo Gong who has been assassinated!" ”

"How's it going?" When Shen Weilan heard this, the haze in his eyes was like a dark cloud, and he asked in a deep voice.

Geng Zhi said: "Grandpa Guo is safe and sound, but the left and right attendants are not guarded, and several people were killed by a crossbow arrow in the alley, and our brother was also injured when he was supporting." ”

He looked down at the blood stains on his body, "My subordinates killed two people on the other side, and these blood are all theirs." ”

"What about the Ajing?" Shen Weilan asked, "Are you scared and still coming back to your senses in the alley, or do you continue to go back to your residence?"

Before Geng Zhi could answer, a frightened voice had already come from front of him, and he said angrily: "Youqing! What are you talking about? Is Lao Tzu such a timid person! ”

He added, "I saw that those assassins were hiding near your residence in broad daylight, and apparently they didn't take you seriously at all, so they turned back to see you." ”

Shen Weilan let out a "hmm" and said, "Anyway, you didn't come back because you were afraid that you would meet someone to assassinate you after you went back. ”

"......" Xu Jingchang walked in from the hanging flower door with an ugly face and said, "What the hell is going on?" Jianwen remnants or? ”

"Investigating." Shen Weilan was noncommittal, "Did you send someone back to see Miss Xu?" ”

Xu Jingchang remembered this and hurriedly sent someone to pick up Xu Jingyuan.

Xi Fuwei next to her heard this, her face was a little ugly, she glanced at Shen Weilan, bowed her head and said nothing.

I don't know if I noticed her reaction, Shen Weilan said: "I have a small place here, and there are different men and women, so it is inconvenient for Miss Xu to come." ”

"Doesn't this girl live here too?" Xu Jingchang raised his chin towards Xi Fuwei and said, "I used to be a young lady, isn't it, what's inconvenient!" Jing Yuan came, and the two girls happened to be companions. ”

"......" Shen Weilan stared at him without saying a word.

Xu Jingchang had no choice but to say: "It's all over your territory, who would dare to bully your people?" Jing Yuan is no longer sensible, can he still not understand this little bit of human feelings? Even if she doesn't understand, I'll look at her, okay? ”

He also reminded, "This Jining is the place you are responsible for, if something goes wrong here, you can't escape!" ”

Shen Weilan said: "If Miss Xu has any inappropriate behavior after she comes, then I can only send her to Yanzhou Mansion or other health centers." ”

Xu Jingchang has always been pampered, and he just came over for a walk, and was really frightened by the sudden assassination, and he was a little wilted at this time, and said: "Youqing, you divide the room and I'll ask someone to clean it up, and rest for a while." ”

He also said, "When Jing Yuan comes, he will definitely bring the cook over, and you will be wiped out by then." ”

After they said a few words, Shen Steal Lan asked Xu Jingchang to take Xu Jingchang to the east wing where he lived to settle down.

He convened his subordinates to discuss the matter.

Seeing that no one was rushing her, Xi Fuwei also followed up with the main hall, made an embroidered stool in the corner, and sat down obediently.

Among them, her colleagues looked at her and went to see Shen Thief, but Shen Thief Lan didn't see it.

So after a while, the two lieutenants were left to guard outside in case they were heard, and the people in the room began to discuss the real culprit behind the assassination, and Xi Fuwei also successfully participated in the audit.

After a few discussions, the group decided on a general target of suspicion.

It's just that there is controversy over several general flags and small flags, because one group of people is suspicious of Jianwen's remnants, and the other group is suspicious of King Han or King Zhao.

Those who doubt Jianwen's remnants are justified: "My lord is the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and after he is a martyr, he also has a lot of connections with His Royal Highness the Prince; The Duke of Dingguo is the beloved son of the loyal Duke, and His Majesty regards him as a nephew. Jianwen's remnants are declining day by day, but he can't help His Majesty, and retreat to the next best thing to attack the adults and Dingguo Gong, isn't it a matter of course? ”

"Jianwen Yu does have this motive, but don't forget that whether it is the attack of the adult or the death of the Duke of Dingguo, it is the crossbow arrow of the other party." Those who doubted the king of Han or Zhao said, "It's not a two-handed crossbow arrow, let alone an ordinary crossbow arrow!" We've all seen that momentum, and we've seen arrows in private, but it's a repeater! Even the crossbow is Yuan Rong, even in the army, it is highly valued, not that the elite soldiers are not equipped at all, let alone in the streets? That is, His Royal Highness the King of Han and His Royal Highness the King of Zhao, who grew up in the army with His Majesty, are the most convenient to get this kind of repeater, and there is also a reason to assassinate the adult. The reason why he also shot at Dingguo Gong was that the eight achievements were to frame Jianwen's remnants! But in fact, it has been almost ten years since the Battle of Jingjing, and Jianwen Yu has not made any moves over the years, and the loss is huge, where can he still take out such a family foundation? ”

"Can't get your money? Don't forget that the Battle of Jingjing was not fought for a day or two! Opponents ridiculed each other, "When Jianwen's army is defeated, will he still want to keep a hand?" Otherwise, how did those remnants tirelessly stir up trouble all these years? ”

They had a war of words, and Xi Fuwei didn't dare to make a noise because it was the first time she had participated in such a meeting, and she didn't know much, so she just listened silently, secretly surprised: "It turns out that Jianwen has made a lot of moves over the years?" And it was also served a lot by Jinyiwei? ”

However, the people have always been calm, even before Yu Kedi also said that Jianwen's remnants were not a climate, as if after Emperor Yongle ascended the throne, Jianwen's remnants did not exist.

But in the mouths of the general banners and small flags, it seems that the toss of Jianwen's remnants has not stopped, and there is also the meaning of continuing.

Xi Fuwei felt that this should not be just because Shandong was not close to Yingtianfu and was not well-informed enough, but it was Emperor Yongle who issued a gag order to prevent the world from knowing that Emperor Jianwen still had supporters in action.

This is also a reasonable thing, after all, Emperor Yongle is abnormally on the throne, or his uncle is taking the position of nephew, and Emperor Jianwen is not mediocre when he is in power, at least he has not cheated the people much, and many people can't help but sympathize with this young emperor.

If everyone in the world knows that the rest of Emperor Jianwen has not given up so far, the consolidation of Emperor Yongle's throne will inevitably be even more difficult.

They discussed for a long time, but no one could convince anyone, and finally decided to ask Shen Weilan's opinion.

Shen Steal Lan thought that the second king was more suspicious, because the place where he lived seemed to be undefended, but in fact, there were several brocade guards scattered around, and there were sentry posts day and night.

In this case, if you can still touch in and do it at night without knowing it, it must be a mole.

"Jianwen Yu doesn't have such ability." After Shen Weilan said this, everyone was silent for a while and echoed one after another.

Xi Fuwei was thoughtful.

The next thing is that Shen Steallan arranges an errand, and he must thoroughly investigate the assassination in the past two days, and after having substantial evidence, he will report to Emperor Yongle.

"Your next errand is to accompany Miss Xu." After arranging a circle, Xi Fuwei didn't do anything, and in the end, Shen Steallan called her to her and advised, "I will explain to Xu Jingchang and Miss Xu herself, so that Miss Xu is not allowed to embarrass you again...... I don't have a maid or anything like that here, the only female dependent under my command is you, Miss Xu is here, and I can only let you be responsible. ”

He also said, "She is absolutely not allowed to come near the study or my bedroom." ”

Xi Fuwei nodded yes.

Of course, she was reluctant in her heart, but she didn't have the confidence to refuse.

After all, even if Shen Weilan didn't negotiate with the Xu family brothers and sisters, let her greet Xu Jingyuan...... What can she do?

"There are moles among our people, you should be careful when you go in and out." Shen Weilan glanced outside, and whispered, "I'm very busy these days, and I don't have time to take care of every subordinate. ”

Xi Fuwei said: "My lord, since we have a traitor here, why do you want the brothers and sisters of Dingguo to live here?" If something happens here......"

Shen Steallan said: "This traitor. Since I dare to say it in public, I have my own measure...... The brothers and sisters of the Xu family are very valued by His Majesty, even if His Majesty has issued an order for them to go to the north, and if they don't leave for a day, we can't get rid of their safety, whether they are in front of us or not. So Ah Jing was willing to take the initiative to move over, which also saved us the effort of running at both ends. ”

He was really busy now, and he hurried away without a few words.

Xi Fuwei went to the back and continued to clean up her residence, and a few lieutenants came to clean the courtyard.

But not for her, but for Xu Jingyuan's stay.

These are all martial artists, and it is very neat to sweep the courtyard, and it didn't take long to get it done, and they came to ask Xi Fuwei if she wanted to help move furniture or something.

Xi Fuwei didn't actually have any large luggage, but in order to get closer, she still asked them to help move a few cabinets, change the layout, and take advantage of the situation to stuff a purse containing broken silver as a thank you gift.

She was young and beautiful, and she was generous, and she quickly won the favor of her colleagues.

After moving the cabinet, I went out, and I didn't have to ask her about it, so I took the initiative to talk about some errand tricks and things on Jining's side.

"It is said that Miss Xu is not a good person." One of the lieutenants also looked left and right for a while and then told her, "Fortunately, it is now on our territory, if she has any excessive behavior, you will specially choose Guogong to cry when she is in front of the adults." Adults have always protected their shortcomings, and they will definitely make decisions for their own people. ”

"Don't cry too often, use this hand when you can't hold it anymore." Another person said, "Why is the young lady of the Guogong Mansion coming to our territory, you don't need to hold it too much." It's not like when you say it, those methods that don't hurt people can't be used, as long as you do it in a high-sounding manner and leave no traces, here and outside are your own people, who will turn their elbows outward? ”

As he was talking, a small guy came over there, saying that Xu Jingchang was invited.

Of course, I asked Xi Fuwei to speak.
